I was the one that reviewed lxd, and once again I forget to set the alias
(sorry). Would it be possible for the store to be a little more in your face
about this? Ie, frameworks are supposed to have the alias since they aren't
supposed to be namespaced, so can the store check if 'type: framework' and do
magic-- perhaps popping up a confirmation that it will set the alias for me
unless I say 'no'?

It does sound like a small thing but new framework reviews come up so seldom it
is easy to forget. An alternative would be to create a manual review checklist,
which is not a bad idea regardless of if the store gets smarter on this.
